obama. there may be companies that are doing well, and obviously there are a couple of companies here that are, but long-term having the government set the role of the economy is not good. >> i own a small business. how will your administration help small businesses? >> well, take for example what we do with the corporate taxes. we cut corporate tax rates in half and make it a flat tax. that is a great advantage to small businesses. why? because they do not have the compliance partners and the accountants to help them figure out how to do their taxes. i pay my own taxes. mitt romney paid half the tax rate i did. obviously, he has better accountants. maybe i should higher than in the future. if you are structuring your company to respond to how the tax code operates -- that is not the case with a small business person. i would say that having a flat corporate tax is going to be a great equalizer in many respects. i look at the things the government does with respect to the regulatory groups.
